DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2018 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 28 Falcons 16 Snap Counts

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201811110cle.htm#all_vis_snap_counts

Myles Garrett finally got a break. He only played 67% of the snaps. Ogunjobi only played 59%. Keeping these fresh (and not injured) is of utmost importance in the second half of the season. I'd expect to see their snaps go up after the bye.

Joe Schobert played 68% of the snaps his first game back. I'm glad they eased him back in his first game back. The defense is completely different with him playing.

Damarious Randall played 99% of the snaps after missing one game.

Jamie Collins played 95% of the snaps. He actually looked like he gave a crap this game and made a few big plays.

Tanner Vallejo played 55% of the snaps. PFF had him among the highest rated players on our defense. We might have found a solid player.

BBC played 80% of the snaps. He's been playing nickel and safety.

Peppers played 65% and Kindred played 33%.

Ogbah and Avery played 71%. Avery showed up big a few times.

On offense Perriman only played 25% of the snaps (13 plays). I don't know if he is good, but I feel like he adds something to our offense that we've been missing. He kind of just looks like he belongs.

I noticed we were running a bunch of 12 personnel. Fells played 60%, Njoku played 66%, Charles played 26%, and Devalve played 8%.

Callaway outsnapped Landry 74% to 68%.

Having Ward, Schobert, and Randall back was HUGE.


How much longer until Mitchell is eligible to come back?

Week 12 I believe.

Omg. I thought he was done for the season.

Man if we get him back.....could we possibly make a run?

I think MKC said he could play the final four games of the season.

He's on IR, but he could potentially return.



No.

Why not? I have hope.

Next year dawg .... it’s FINALLY HERE ....

We need a few more pieces and our kids to get the experience they need the rest of this year ...

The futures bright dawg ... this year is for incubation .... this off season is about acquisitions .... playoff run time is next year depending on what new systems we bring on and how quick we get up to speed ...

Next year .... I EXPECT to be at least playoff contenders all year depending on how Bake turns out .. if he can ball like he has a shot to be able to to .. we will have a shot .. next year ...

ITS MY EXPECTATION .... were not quite there yet this year ...

i know bro. i know. it just sucks man....the steelers, saints, raiders, and bucs games should've all been wins.

great to see DL numbers down. I think tha's important

Any word on Zettel’s injured knee? Non contact celebratory injuries tend to never be good.

I thought they said he'd be fine

Browns’ offensive snap counts, stats, and PFF notes: Week 10

The Browns finally score a first-quarter touchdown, and someone is feelin’ dangerous.

By Chris Pokorny


Below, we analyze the snap counts and stats on offense for the Cleveland Browns’ Week 10 game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Quarterback
Pos Player Plays % Stats
QB Baker Mayfield 53 100% 17-of-20 (85.0%) for 216 yards, 3 TD. 0 catches (1 target).

“Feelin’ Dangerous?” Mayfield was perfect in the first half, and did what he needed to in the second half with the lead. His throws were spot on the money, so much to the point where the trick play thrown by a running back made you think, “Ahhh, I like the fun play call, but maybe not when Mayfield was so hot anyway.” It was Mayfield’s first 3-touchdown game, and he now has 7 touchdowns to just 2 interceptions over his last three games.

Per PFF, Mayfield was blitzed 10 times and went 7-of-8 for 115 yards and 1 touchdown on those plays for a perfect QB rating of 158.3. He was graded an 85.6.

Running Back
Pos Player Plays % Stats
RB Nick Chubb 42 79% 20 carries, 176 yards (8.8 YPC). 1 TD. 3 catches, 33 yards (3 targets). 1 TD.
RB Duke Johnson 17 32% 3 carries, 15 yards (5.0 YPC). 4 catches, 31 yards (4 targets). 1 TD.
RB Dontrell Hilliard 9 17% 1 catch, 6 yards (1 target). 0-of-1 (0%), 1 INT.

The Browns gave the bulk of the workload on Sunday to Nick Chubb, and he delivered. Besides his franchise-breaking 92-yard touchdown run, he would’ve had 19 carries for 84 yards, still good for an average of 4.42 yards per carry. Anyone still wondering about the Carlos Hyde trade? He also showed good hands in catching 3 passes, including one for a touchdown.

Per PFF, Chubb (80.5 grade) gained 155 of his 176 rushing yards after contact.

Duke Johnson only played 17 snaps...but the key is that he still received 7 touches, including an all-important touchdown catch. He nearly fumbled once, but his knee had just gotten down.

I love the utilization of the full house package and actually sticking with it for a stretch. It’s easy to hate on the fact that it ended with a running back throwing an interception, but I like the innovation, and I think the safety made a great read.

Wide Receiver
Pos Player Plays % Stats
WR Antonio Callaway 39 74% 2 catches, 39 yards (2 targets).
WR Jarvis Landry 36 68% 2 catches, 22 yards (5 targets).
WR Rashard Higgins 22 42% 1 catch, 28 yards (1 target). 1 TD.
WR Breshad Perriman 13 25% 2 catches, 33 yards (2 targets).
WR Damion Ratley 2 4% No stats registered.

No particular receiver was targeted this week significantly; the wealth was spread around. Rashard Higgins had a big touchdown catch early on, for example, but that was the only time he was targeted all game. The good thing? When players were thrown the ball, they held on to it. At the end of the day, that is all we really care about.

Give credit to Antonio Callaway for the assist on Nick Chubb’s 92-yard touchdown run, as he helped guide Chubb back to the inside part of the field and chipped his man enough to allow the run to go all the way.

Tight End
Pos Player Plays % Stats
TE David Njoku 36 66% 1 catch, 18 yards (1 target).
TE Darren Fells 32 60% No stats registered.
TE Orson Charles 14 26% 1 catch, 6 yards (1 target).
TE Seth DeValve 4 8% No stats registered.

This was a higher percentage output than usual for blocking tight end Darren Fells, who saw 60% of the snaps. Seth DeValve was not utilized much again...but for now, with how the offense has played out under Freddie Kitchens, that’s okay.

Offensive Line
Pos Player Plays % Stats
OL Greg Robinson 53 100%
OL Joel Bitonio 53 100%
OL JC Tretter 53 100%
OL Kevin Zeitler 53 100%
OL Chris Hubbard 53 100%

The Browns went with Greg Robinson at left tackle. Besides a stretch when he had two holding penalties in the same drive, I thought he did another good job. In fact, the Falcons’ offensive line didn’t have one sack, and they only had one hit on the quarterback all game!
Bitonio (73.3) and Zeitler (72.0) had high grades for the Browns.

Browns’ defensive snap counts, stats, and PFF notes: Week 10

A high-octane Falcons offense is stopped by Cleveland’s defense that got several starters back.

By Chris Pokorny


Below, we analyze the snap counts and stats on defense for the Cleveland Browns’ Week 10 game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Defensive Line
Pos Player Plays % Stats
DL Emmanuel Ogbah 53 71% 1 tackle, 1 assist (2 combined). 0.5 sack, 1 TFL, 1 QH.
DL Myles Garrett 50 67% 1 tackle (1 combined).
DL Larry Ogunjobi 44 59% 2 tackles, 2 assists (4 combined). 0.5 sack, 2 QH.
DL Brian Price 30 40% No stats registered.
DL Trevon Coley 27 36% No stats registered.
DL Anthony Zettel 25 33% 3 tackles (3 combined). 1 TFL.
DL Chris Smith 22 29% 2 tackles, 1 assist (3 combined). 1 sack, 1 QH, 1 forced fumble.

The intriguing thing about this week’s defensive line snap counts should be obvious: it’s the first time we saw playing time distributed like it was last year. Instead of over-taxing Myles Garrett and Larry Ogunjobi for 90% of the snaps, each were around the 60% to 67% range.

That allowed much more playing time for Anthony Zettel (33%) and Chris Smith (29%). This is a distribution I’d love to see more of moving forward to keep players fresher.

Myles Garrett did not log a sack, sending him into the bye week with 9 sacks in 10 games. Per PFF, Garrett did not even log a single pressure. Emmanuel Ogbah led the Browns with 4 pressures.

Linebacker
Pos Player Plays % Stats
LB Jamie Collins 71 95% 8 tackles, 1 assist (9 combined). 1 TFL, 1 fumble recovery.
LB Genard Avery 53 71% 1 tackle, 2 assists (3 combined).
LB Joe Schobert 51 68% 4 tackles, 3 assists (7 combined).
LB Tanner Vallejo 41 55% 4 tackles, 2 assists (6 combined).

With Christian Kirksey out for the year, Jamie Collins stepped up for his finest performance of the season. He finished with a game grade of 74.7 from PFF and a team-high 9 tackles.
But it wasn’t just him. Joe Schobert returned from injury with an immediate impact. His 90.1 grade from PFF led the defense, as they credited him with the following:

Schobert allowed just one catch on four targets for two total yards, equaling a 39.6 passer rating when targeted. Schobert also added four stops (stops that constitute a “loss” for the offense) in the run game and created one quarterback pressure.

Let’s not leave out Vallejo, who logged 6 tackles and played 55% of the snaps. He received the 3rd highest defensive grade from PFF with a 77.1. I can’t proclaim that the Browns have found a “gem” quite yet, but they appear to have something of a player in Vallejo.

Cornerback
Pos Player Plays % Stats
CB T.J. Carrie 75 100% 4 tackles, 2 assists (6 combined). 2 passes defended, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery.
CB Denzel Ward 75 100% 2 tackles (2 combined). 1 pass defended.
CB Briean Boddy-Calhoun 60 80% 4 tackles, 1 assist (5 combined). 2 passes defended.

Holy hell, what got in to T.J. Carrie? That’s the player we thought we were getting from Oakland! He had the Browns’ second-highest defensive grade of the day. Per PFF, he allowed 5 catches for 43 yards when targeted, which wasn’t bad given the situations in which those catches were made. He also forced a key fumble that led to a touchdown. Even the pass interference called against him was a relatively clean play.

Denzel Ward returned to the lineup and played every snap. The Browns only went with three cornerbacks, keeping the new additions out of the lineup.

Safety
Pos Player Plays % Stats
S Damarious Randall 74 99% 3 tackles (3 combined). 1 TFL.
S Jabrill Peppers 49 65% 3 tackles, 1 assist (4 combined).
S Derrick Kindred 25 33% 3 tackles (3 combined).

Damarious Randall returned to action and played nearly every snap.

Jabrill Peppers out-snapped Derrick Kindred again, and had an awesome stick at the goal line that eventually proved to be the difference in the Falcons turning the ball over on downs at the 1 yard line.

I'm super curious about how underutilized Devalve has been this year. There's something not making sense about it, to me.

He seemed a little standoffish in 'Hard Knocks', but I just chalked that up to him recovering from injury and not really being "part of". I wonder if there is more to it and he just isn't fitting in.

And he did it with less then a stellar QB play.

This is not necessarily an indication of a team weekness in it self, but in this case I think that there has been a habitual lack of production from anyone but Ogunjobi inside @DT.

Also of note is Brain Price playing three more snaps than Coley, but then again the goaline stand might have been tilting the scale here.

--Since TC
Gone are Meder, Brantley, and I don't know what happen with Trent Thompson the UDFA (health)? I would add Nassib on some pass defense snaps.
